Dating: Valentine's Day Weekend.
 

:) Ok as some if not many people here know I have had my eyes on an RN at work for the past few months and have been flirting with her for about the same time. Now I finally mustered the courage to ask her out last night for Lunch tomorrow. She said yes and Niw I 've got a question: Is it proper since, this is Valentines day weekend to present her with Roses on the first date?
(Ive always presented girls with flowers on the first date but its the first time i've had a date on V DAy week end.
thanks.

I'm going on a first date with a girl tonight. I'd like a quick answer to this as well. Hurry please!

Roses on the first date are always acceptable, regardless of what holiday is near. If you're worried about the holiday association stay away from red roses, and pick a more fun color like pink or purple.

Have fun :D

Hmmm...

Roses or a rose, or any flowers, on a lunch date first date may be a little over the top.

Can't see that it would hurt, but I doubt you'd need to.

How about just giving the girl a single rose?

Either that, or stay away from roses all together. Back in my dating age, most girls seemed to prefer other flowers. Daisies, for example.

That is what I would do, even for a lunch date.

On my date tonight, I might go with a single rose, but also (or instead)... She's been talking about wanting to get "The Notebook" on DVD which came out this week. I'll probably surprise her with that.... and wait for the rose(s) 'til V-Day.

I wasnt thinking about a bundle of 2 dozen but at most 3. Thanks folks.

first date i'd say no for the roses, especially since it's a lunch date. a nice mixed bouquet would be better, imho.

A box of condoms.

One rose.

You'll save $$$ if it doesn't work out.

(I would have recommended not mixing business with pleasure, but good luck!)

and a volkswagen.

I happen to own a Hyundai. Thank You very much. ;)

That's a very uncomfortable position.

Flowers on a first date are fine.

i dont think going out to lunch as a first date.

Just take her out for lunch and pay for it.

then see how things go? if it goes well ask her out on a date to the movies, etc. and then buy her flowers.

I don't like the single rose idea. it seems a little melodramatic. I like the idea of a cute little mixed boquet.

If you want to kick it up a notch, mix a pair of crotchless panties that are rolled up to look like a rose into the boquet. i think you can find these at truck stops.

Or I could just send him the pair I am wearing right now.

Ask for oral sex on the first date. Let me know if it works.

I've heard from a lot of playas-- and have agreed more and more as I've gotten older-- that one shouldn't make ostentatious outlays of cash when first going out with a woman.

I suppose it's alright if you're some kind of high-roller. But for the rest of us it gives the impression that we are the type of men that has to pay for a woman's company. Also, do you really want to go out with a woman for whom flowers are the dealmaker/dealbreaker?

I wouldn't do the flowers bit if I were you.

Yeah Ive thought about it too. Flowers for now would probably not be a good I dea. A small thank you card would be though,

A thank you card? Who sends a girl a thank you card for going on a lunch date?

"thank you for letting me put a trout in your rectum"?

Hallmark has those now, or so I've heard.

I think as long as you're a little bit cocky, and a little bit funny, you'll have no problem getting these bitches into bed before the night is out.

No flowers for a lunch. Instead use the mystery effect.

About 25 minutes into the lunch, have a friend call you, then say, "POTUS wants to talk to me now?"

Then say you had a wonderful time, (if you did), you would like to see her again, (again, if you do) and then excuse yourself, and rush off in a hurry after leaving money to cover the lunch.

This will lead to her wanting to know more about you, and you concocting an even more intricate series of lies to keep her interested. Eventually, just like Scott Peterson, you will be found and exposed, but ask him about it today, and with a thumbs up he will say, "What a ride!"

A thank you card? Interesting.

Thanks for putting up with me today. I really appreciated it. Next time maybe you'll let me push your easy button.

Cordially yours,
Me.

PEACH! That used to be my choice when I got girls roses.

=)

Fucking hilarious...just slayed me.

Well, what happened? Status update please...

where did you take her to lunch at?

Did you make a move? or played it cool for now?

Should be about time for lunch now (noon) in Nevada.

Nevada, huh? She didn't call you "John" when you asked her out, did she?

He has an "appointment" for lunch.

Ok it's well past lunchtime now. Update please.

I'm hoping that "lunch" is still going on back at his place... ;)

Living vicariously Jeebs?

What, I can't root for the guy to get a little somethin' somethin'?

Actually, I wouldn't want that for him, not yet at least. If he really likes her the last thing he needs is a hooch who would put out on the first date...

And a lunch date at that.

I gave my wife a wet-nap on our first date. The rest is history.

I think you already failed since you're asking a bunch of guys who play text-sims in their free time.

WELL???

Update : The date went off w/o a hitch. We spent lunch talking about her life and a little about myself. After lumch we walked around the venetian and talked soome more. We then proceeded to tal=ke the gondola ride and just stared at each other for a while. Then
like a true nerd that I am I had to tell her that I had Pharmacology class at 1800 and would have to take her home.

did you give her a card or flowers on this lunch date?

so will there be a 2nd date?

did you get a good feeling she likes you?

Did you kiss her?

details :)

Did she mention how her boyfriend likes gondola rides as well?

Good stare or bad stare? Did she looked frightened? And for crying out loud if it was a good stare did you kiss her?

As per your questions:

1. There will be a second date on Thursday (can't today because she has work and I have class, May decide to show up at work with a card TODAY).

2. As a true gentleman we kissed and hugged after I walked her home (It ciolated my ''No kisssing on the first date rule but she initiated it).

3. I think that we really hit off , I felt real good about her and I think she felt the same way about me. Not to be a megalomaniac but I just acted like myself and that was the key.

Ok. Key facts missing.

1) Did you bring her flowers? A flower? How many? What kind? What color? I've invested too much time in this not to know these answers. :D

2) Did you actually say "I have a Pharmacology class at 1800 hours?" or did you say "Six o'clock." If you said the former and there is a second date, do not let this girl go...
